How is this HLC visit different?
The comprehensive review process has been changed again since our last accreditation review and visit in 2020. The Higher learning commission updated the criteria twop times since out last visit. The lastest criteria has removed the extra sub-criteria and reduced the criteria from five to four sections. The comprehensive review still entails an Assurance Filing and a Federal Compliance Filing. The Federal Compliance form document with a list of specific questions, around 30 pages all told, identifying how we meet particular U.S. Department of Education requirements. The Assurance Filing is limited to 35,000 words, or around 140 pages, and must directly respond to specific questions indicating how we meet the criteria for accreditation. There is also a branch campus report for our other locations in the state.
